Light Art using light sticks and steel wool photography in and around and around and around my Vancouver Public Labyrinth . . .
These are really cool . . .
Looking very closely, one might spot a number of stones out-of-place . . .
. . . Time for another maintenance visit to the Vancouver Public Labyrinth.
When I first placed a medium sized dinosaur egg in the middle of the centre of what would become the Vancouver Public Labyrinth, it was not large enough to stand nor sit on.
Far from it.
Then one day I returned for a maintenance visit and of all the stones, that was the only one which was missing.
I re-placed the disappeared centre stone with a much larger, heavier stone. Not just a dinosaur egg but a really big stone.
Some days later, I found yet another large rock during low tide in False Creek and placed it beside the first re-placement stone.
Since then, I have randomly seen people stand upon those two rocks once they reach the centre.
This is the first instance of seeing someone sitting on them.
Perhaps reaching the centre of the Vancouver Public Labyrinth then sitting and watching the setting set is a thing . . .
The dried grass, with its hair thin whispers of blades gently strangling the stone arcss of the Labyrinth, almost makes this seem ancient, like its always been there, betraying its age.
It’s barely fourth months old.
I began building this late March and finished it in April…
School Garden Program, Sprouting Chefs, brought their class to the Vancouver Public Labyrinth . . .
Cool!
Never quite thought of my stone Labyrinths that way before…
I’ve been visiting my Vancouver Public Labyrinth when I can for “maintenance” walks.
I reposition stones and slightly re-arrange some rocks to ensure a pleasant walking experience.
And sometimes, I see photos like these two Instagrams and know that the Labyrinth is doing okay. . .
Even if these photos were taken any number of days ago, I appreciate them being posted now!
Thanks Craig!
This is a wonderful composite photograph comprised of at least five different captures.
I’ve tried now and then to create similar composite images of the same Labyrinth Walker at different spots along the path, yet nothing as nice and seamless as this one.
Well done Clara!
Happy Walking !!
My Stone Labyrinth is both a Neighbourhood Labyrinth and a City Labyrinth.
Neighbouhood being Olympic Village and South False Creek.
The City being Vancouver.
